I've just looked at the roadmap again and I can't tell what is new, or
how old and stale the roadmap might be. I have some suggestions:

1) Place the last updated date on the first page and update it at least
once per month. If you have nothing new to say, make it a last reviewed
date instead, so we know someone within VSI has looked at the roadmap
within the last month and declared it to be current.

2) If you add something new to the roadmap, highlight it in green until
the roadmap changes again, at which point it is no longer new.

3) If you remove something from the roadmap, leave it there but highlight
it in red so we know it has been removed.

4) Optional: If a target date changes for a goal, highlight the new date
in yellow until the roadmap is changed again.

I've listed these in order of descending importance and getting a last
updated or last reviewed date on the roadmap is easily the most important,
IMHO.

Comments ?

Simon.

Fully agree on all points.
Can just be a couple of hours of work...

Since there have been no further comments, I've submitted my suggestions
via the VSI website so hopefully there's someone at the other end of the
contact page form that will read them (and equally hopefully act on them.)

I got a response from a VSI employee who said my comments will be passed
along to management.

BTW, is VSI's European operation now based in Denmark instead of Sweden ?

Their "contact us" page list an address in downtown Copenhagen.

<quote>
Europe Address:

Bryghuspladsen 8, 402
DK-1473 Copenhagen
Denmark
</quote>

But in the IT industry today the mailing address does not necessarily
tell much about where the staff is physical located.

Which is the same address as "Energy Machines" which is another
of VSI main investors, Johan Gedda, companies.

But Energy Machines also have an address in Malmö, Sweden
which they (at least before) shared with VSI.

Now, Energy Machines also has an address in Gothenburg. No idea
if the VSI people also has followed there, or if they just
moved over the bridge to Copenhagen.

Now, in Europe, VSI is acting under it's parent company, Teracloud.
And Teracloud has an address in Malmö, where an search site also
placed Energy Machines at the same address. And it seems to be the
same location as where I visited VSI's office a couple of years ago.

It is a complicated company structure.

Right. One contact I had at VSI is located in Gothenburg.
So yes, your office can be anyware today...

Yes. The reason I asked is because the person who replied had a Denmark
address in their email signature.
